Is wired glass counted in required glazing area of living room, family room or bedroom?

Since wired glass would block a clear view (see through), If there is a window that requires wired glass for fire protection, is the wired glass counted in the required glazing area of the room?

Not understanding your question. Only required glazing is egress window in a bedroom in an unsprinklered part 9 building.

There is a situation where a basement uncovered walkout stairs for the secondary suite in the basement is located below a window on the ground floor of the primary suite family room. This window is required to be equipped with wired glass. Is this window of wired glass still counted as required glazing area for the primary suite family room?

the OBC still has the window size requirements that were removed from the national code in the 2005 version.

My understanding of the requirement was that it was intended for daylighting of the room.

I would not have an issue with wired glass.

Is there a required function of window providing clear view to the outside?

Not for any of these windows. The only thing that does is the door viewer required for the main door.
